so for today the dax should be ..... as we are in 2nd quarter...2nd quarter end month is 6... so we start from 6 and go backwards...
Calculate(sum(xyz),period=6,year=2022)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=3,year=2022)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=12,year=2021)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=9,year=2021)...
when we reach 7th month dax would be
Calculate(sum(xyz),period=9,year=2022)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=6,year=2022)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=3,year=2022)+Calculate(sum(xyz),period=12,year=2021)..
how can i automate it so i dont have to change values after every quarter...

Hi, @Anonymous
According to your description, I create a sample file.
You need to create a calculate column and a measure to diaplay the dynamic total value.
Like this:
column:
quarterendmonth = if(MONTH('Table'[Date]) in {3,6,9,12},YEAR([Date])*100+MONTH([Date]))
meaure:
Total =
VAR a =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[quarterendmonth] ),
MONTH ( 'Table'[Date] ) >= MONTH ( TODAY () )
&& YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
[quarterendmonth] >= a - 97
&& [quarterendmonth] <= a
)
)
Did I answer your question? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please feel free to ask me.

I will approach as adding index column, rank and then calculate
